At least 10 people died as a result of Hurricane Milton
President Joe Biden got a firsthand look Sunday at the devastation inflicted on Florida’s Gulf Coast by Hurricane Milton as he presses Congress to approve additional emergency disaster funding. Vice President Kamala Harris was spending a second day in North Carolina, hard-hit by Hurricane Helene, to worship with Black churchgoers and hold a campaign rally.
Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, visited Raleigh on Saturday to meet with Black elected and religious leaders and help volunteers package personal care items for delivery to victims of Helene in the western part of the state. With less than four weeks to go before Election Day, the hurricanes have added another dimension to the closely contested presidential race.
Biden said Trump was “not singularly” to blame for the spread of false claims in recent weeks but that he has the “biggest mouth.” But Johnson has pushed back, saying the agencies have enough money for the time being and that lawmakers will address the funding issue during the lame-duck session after the election.
